Problems in Career

The querist approached me through the following email.

Hi Rajesh,

My name is XXXXX  and my DOB is 23rd mar 1973 time 9:30 AM birth place is Bellary Karnataka, since 2006 I am facing lot of disturbance in Finance and Career related matter. Can you kindly suggest any astrological remedy to subsidise the ill effects if any.

Your Career related house is House number 10 (10^th house is house of Karma, social fame, rank in society). This has a Aquarius sign. This sign is owned by Saturn. The planet Saturn in a natural giver of , extreme hard work delays, obstacles, disappointments.

 In your Horoscope Saturn is also the owner of 9^th house of fortune. Hence in your chart, Saturn owns a Kendra and Kona place and is sitting in your lagna / Ascendent. This is a positive news because Kendra is Vishnu and Kona is laxmi. If a planet becomes lord of Kendra and Kona then it becomes a Yogakaraka.

Saturn is aspecting its own 10^th house from lagna which means that growth in profession will be slow.

Saturn is a planet of Justice and if it is owning 10^th house of profession, career related to law is advised though Saturn also represents many other professions. Your 10^th house has Mercury. Planet Mercury is owner of house number 2 (House of speech , stored wealth, stocks, Banks, Treasury etc) and house number 5. (House of Fame, creative intelligence , power). Mercury is a significator of speech and also represents buddhi (intelligence) and when it is sitting in 10^th house of your professions in acquarius sign, you can be a good arguing lawyer . 

Mercury is aspecting the 4^th house of education and hence career in Teaching can also be taken because that requires speech as medium of action. Those professions which will involve good communication skills / speech will suit you.

Jupiter is sitting in your 9^th house of fortune which is its own house and aspecting your 10^th lord Saturn in lagna / ascendant. Therefore you will be fortunate in your profession but in later part of life. (Saturn delays everything).

You had informed me that you are working in IT department.  Mercury also signifies information / publishing but I don’t see any connection of 3^rd house with Mercury though your 10^th lord Saturn is aspecting 3^rd house (3^rd house represents Information Technology, publishing, logistics, movement) in your chart. I mean 10^th Lord is establishing connection with 3^rd house.

The 8^th house of your horoscope has Rahu. It is a planet of sudden changes and desires and sitting in house of sudden changes which means sudden changes will get compounded in your career because 8^th house is 11^th house from 10^th house and 11^th house from any house is fruits of that house which is being analyse. 11^th house from any house means end of the activity of that particular house. Therefore your may face job end / career breaks whenever the Mahadasha or antardasha of Jupiter or Rahu will come in your life time.

Position of your 10^th Lord in Navamsa Chart

 Your 10^th lord Saturn is in Navamsa of Moon and Moon is placed in 6^th house of your Navamsa Chart which shows obstacles, mental worries in your career. 6^th house represents  service and moon being a fastest planet will represent change of service. Moon is also representative of  Mind and if Mind is in house of mental tension (6^th house), your  will  be under mental worries relating to your service.

In your Navamsa chart, the 10^th lord is Venus and it is also sitting in 8^th house which is a dusthana. Hence you will face repeated breaks in your career.

Analysis of Dasamsa Chart D-10

The Dasamsa chart is a minutest analysis of 10^th house . The lagna lord of Dasamsa chart is again Saturn and placed in dusthana / evil house number 8. The planet Saturn is aspecting 10th house of preofession in Dasamsa chart from 8^th house which is a bad aspect. This shows problems related to your career/ profession.

Note :(6, 8, 12 are evil houses and create problems in those aspects with whom they are associated. E.g if there is a involvement of 6,,8,12 house with house of marriage then chances of marital discord , break in marriage or long delay in marriage is expected).

The 5^th and 10^th lord of Dasamsa chart is venus and  is sitting in 12^th house which is again a evil house. However there is a chance of foreign job during the antardasha and Mahadasha of venus or Jupiter cannot be ruled out.

Rahu is sitting in 6^th house of service and aspecting the 12^th house where lords of 10^th house and 12^th house are sitting. Since Rahu also shows foreign connections, there is a strong possibility of your foreign related profession.

Your Current Vimshottri Dasha period

Since you had told me that since 2006 you are facing issues, lets see your Dasha periods.

If you look at table below, your Moon antardasha operated from 22/7/2006 to 22/12/2007. Moon was in 6th house (evil house) of obstacles in your chart and is aspecting 12th house of losses and expenditure. Moon also owns 3rd house of your horoscope which is 6th (evil house) from 10th house. This indicates mental worries and changes  relating to service.

Your Mars antardasha operated from 22/12/2007 to 19/12/2008. Mars is exhalted in your chart and placed with Jupiter in 9th house. Though it is good for other aspects of your horoscope, lets see the professional aspect relating to 10th house.

 Mars is the  the owner of 12th house (House of losses, expenditure / evil house/ Dusthana) and 7th house (partnerships, alliances, Marriage). From the house of profession angle, It is placed 12th from 10th house and  Mahadasha lord Mercury  which is  a problem.  

Rahu antardasa operated from 19/12/2008 to 7/7/2011. Again Rahu is placed in 8th house which is a house of death & rebirth, sudden transformations. 8th house is 11th from 10th house of profession and represents end of career/ retirement and also gains from profession. Hence you must have experienced sudden transformations relating to your professional gains / career during this period.

Mahadasha of MER -17 Years From 22/ 6/99 To 22/ 6/16

Antardasha of Planets is as follows

MER 19/11/01

KET 16/11/02

VEN 16/ 9/05

SUN 22/ 7/06

MON 22/12/07

MAR 19/12/08

RAH 7/ 7/11

JUP 13/10/13

SAT 22/ 6/16

In the above data , you are currently running Mercury Mahadasha and Jupiter Antardasha. Mercury is lord of 2^nd House (house of stored wealth , speech etc) and 5^th house in your chart and sitting in 10^th  house of profession in your horoscope so this will bring positive results to you.

Jupiter, being antardasha lord and simultaneously lord of 8^th house of evil (its Mooltrikona sign) and 11^th house of Income. Jupiter , as antardasha lord is 12^th from the Mahadasha lord . Hence period of Jupiter will bring long  Travels due to its presence in 9^th house, losses in profession / sudden ups and downs in Income. You will also become spiritual during this period and will perform religious acitivities/ deeds and Travel to pilgrimage cannot be ruled out as Jupiter is sitting in 9^th house of your natal chart.

In the current transit chart of 2^nd Sept 2012, Jupiter is placed in lagna of your chart. Therefore there are high chances of profession break / end  because 8^th house whose lord is Jupiter is 11^th from 10^th house and as I explained , 11^th house is the end of activity and ultimate fruits of the karma of that house.

This will continue till 13/10/2013 after which Saturn Antardasha will start for a period of almost 3 years.

The antardasha lord Saturn is placed in 4^th from Mahadasha lord which is positive point.Saturn being  owner of 9^th and 10^th house in your chart will give positive results but you are advised to  extremely work hard during this period and should not get disappointed.

Shadbala chart

Shadbala is a method in Vedic astrology that gives quick insight in the strength of planets and the houses. Sanskrit means 'Six' and hence Shadbala consists of 6 different sources of strength.  Shadbala method gives a value to each planet and each house. The more points a planet and a house gets in Shadbala the stronger it is.

In your Bhavabala Table , 10^th house has a rank of 11 out of 12 Bhava's hence House of profession is not at all strong.

Similarly it has been said above that Jupiter is sitting in house of Fortune in 9^th house in your natal chart and aspecting 10th lord Saturn but it has lost its effect because the strength of Jupiter is weak due to its 7^th Rank out of 7 planets in Shadbala Table.
